What are PDO THREADS?
They are hypodermic needles preloaded with a PDO absorbable suture.
PDO absorbable suture?
- It’s a synthetic absorbable surgical suture composed of polydioxanone. PDO sutures are used to perform cardiothoracic surgery (such as open-heart surgery). It’s one of the safest materials to be implanted in the body.
- Your skin fully absorbs it within 4 to 6 months & won’t leave you with any scar tissue.
- PDO Thread (foreign body) stimulates collagen synthesis & the skin structure creating a hold for another 12 to 15 months.
Purely injections.
No cuts or incisions.
The Threads are needles that are pre-loaded with a PDO thread which are inserted in the interstitial tissue at subdermal level, parallel to the surface of the skin. The threading needle is then pulled out, leaving the thread under the skin where they dissolve.
Top: Guiding needle with thread is placed under the skin; Bottom: Needle is pulled out leaving the thread.
How does it work? It’s amazingly simple, actually!
In medical terms “Selective Inflammatory Response”, or "Controlled Healing" is initiated. The skin is very good at repairing itself. The threads creates a healing response which generates new collagen naturally!
Mesh Technique
- Smooth Threads
This techniques consists of creating a mesh under the skin with smooth threads which form a foundation for new collagen production. The Mesh tightens the skin naturally from within, reduces the appearance of lines and scars. Results appear almost instantly with a natural lifting or filling look.
- Skin tightening - Under the neck, cheek lifting, lines around and under the mouth
- Crepey skin
- Acne scar filling
- Outlining of Lips to create a fuller look naturally
- Filling in Lines - pillow lines, deep or fine wrinkles around lips, cheeks, mouth, under eyes, chin, chest
Smooth threads are placed gently just under the skin forming a new matrix which helps smooth lines.
